Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0628292A1] A flexible implant (1) with a cylinder-like basic form has near its first end (2) an eye-like opening (3), the axis (4) of which runs transversely to the cylinder axis. The implant (1) can be closed to a ring form by guiding the second end (6) through the opening (3), and is thus suitable in particular for the treatment of reflux oesophagitis and/or axial hiatus hernia. <IMAGE>
